What is the use of Mushrooms??

Post by The Ice Maiden »

Mushrooms: a very nutricious mushroom. I've seen it appear in the black market over 3 times in an hour. Why are they there? They only give Stamina like those oranges fruits. And what does it mean by; very nutricious? Chao don't really take nutrition. They're videogame thingies. So I don't get it.
If there is a use of mushrooms, someone please tell me. And if there isn't, why would the black market scam me?

Answers, anybody?
peace out ci

They give more stamina per bite than ordinary fruit, and also gives Luck.

Not really worth 300 rings.

I've also heard they make your chao smarter, so it's sorta like brain-food. But I don't know if it's true.

Mushrooms are a easter egg reference to Mario, as SA2B was one of the first Sonic games on a Nintendo System.
What the others mentioned also are true I think, but Mushrooms are always in there at the end of the list.

I actually didn't know about that tidbit about the mushroom being a reference to Mario.

Mainly because I never think mushroom = Mario. xD

Mamkute's answer is correct. However, there are actually two different types of the Mushroom, as listed on the main website. One of these types increases stamina and luck by a much higher amount; it was previously thought that that Mushroom was unobtainable, but it turns out that (at least in the PC games), the Black Market randomly chooses which one to sell.

This is false. It doesn't increase intelligence.

Yes, that's what I said. See the main website. The second Mushroom is listed as "Mushroom (alt)" down near the bottom. The page needs to be updated since it actually is obtainable, but the stats listed are correct.

Fusion, is Mushroom (alt.) unobtainable in GameCube SA2B, or are you just unsure?

And in PC (or GC) what is the rate of occurrence?

I'm not sure, as I haven't done much testing with it. All I've done is confirm that the Black Market can sell both types of Mushroom on the PC games, and test both types to see how they increase a chao's stats.

It should be easy enough to test if it exists on the GameCube version. Just keep buying the Mushroom item from the Black Market, while allowing the Black Market to keep refreshing its list of items, and see if you ever get a Mushroom that increases stamina by 20% per bite.
